The Garbage Pail Kids was a 1980's brand of gross, disgusting and yet fun characters designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls created by Xavier Roberts. With the decision only just being made there is no date of when production will start, which characters will be involved or when they will drop but congratulations to all involved. As soon as more information comes to light, we'll let you know.

Mighty Jaxx's Infernal Troopers #2 are now ready for battle at Plastic Foundry, with each 2.75” White Trooper being hand-cast and painted.

INFERIOR TROOPERSare guys who failed the Imperial exams, those who are weaker and those who had injuries. This is the #2 figure in the Inferior Troopers series. He comes with a full battle pack, WWII rifle and a pair of binoculars to spot the incoming enemies. Pair this figure with Trooper #01 or simply purchase a few more to form a squad. - Mighty Jaxx

Welcome to the first of many Tic Top 5 where we ask an artist the hard hitting questions (not really they're actual quite easy). Todays artist is none other than UK based Graphic Designer turned Toy Artist, Darren Clegg.

Darren has a very distinctive style that sets him apart from most artists within the designer toy industry. We thought we'd ask Darren the Tic Top 5 questions that would give better insight into the mind of a talented artist such as himself.

How did you start in the industry of
creating & customizing?I have been friends with JPK (Jon Paul Kaiser) for a few years now and saw all his great work and every time we met up down the pub he kept telling me to give it a go, eventually i bought a mini munny and havent looked back since.

What was the first toy or item you
customized or created?Like i said it was a mini munny, I didnt really know how big and varied the custom toy world was at first and the mini munny seemed like a good starting point.

What influences you?I can get influenced by anything from a walk in the park to a complex 3d representation of some maths equation. Its important to keep your eyes open and soak up whats around you. Then when you come to do a new project all these ideas can filter out into something kinda cool hopefully.

What are your weapons of choice? The only tool I really need is my mind, i know that sounds cheesy but as long as I have an idea i can create with whatever is around me, that and a beer always help.

If you could collaborate with anyone
(living or dead) who would it be?Would have loved to do a colab with Leonardo Da vinci, the guy was a genius at so many things, it would have been fascinating to spend some time in his studio as he was painting one minute, creating some mad machine the next and then dissecting some human remains to try and understand how it all worked. I imagine a colab could have gone so many different ways, it would have been pretty amazing.

Thanks Darren and if you'd like to see more or purchase some of Darren Clegg's awesome work, check out the Collect and Display store here, A lot of Darren's work goes on Instagram or alternatively hit him up via his Facebook email for future work here.

These one of a kind, handmade gigantic Plush War Tourists is a humungous 18" wide of squishy, super soft, cuddle ready goodness. Unfortunately they've have made just one in each colour of purple and grey, which features a rotating head; but lets hope it's only the beginning of this range.

According to NPD data, Mattel’s line of miniature WWE wrestlers is the No.1 action figure property in the U.S., beating out heavy hitters such as G.I. Joe, Star Wars and Marvel.

“We work really closely with WWE, and based on what we see on the show, we talk to WWE about which characters we want to see in the next wave of figures,” Handy said. “We’ll get WWE’s approval, then we’ll work on initial sculpts of each figure, and that can take a little going back and forth as guys will shave their heads or shave their beards or get a different hair style. But we do the best we can to keep things up to date. We try to be as current as we possibly can to what you’re seeing on the show.” - Derek Handy
